Skirge Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Unchanged side forme, no matter who is back, they won't be match fit so reward the passion and fight of the 11 that faced Man Ure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 It simply is a must-win game now. Again I question the players attitude - if they can be up for Man United at home, why can't they manage it for the likes of Bolton and Blackburn away?

Robster Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I cant imagine looking back on this season having been beaten 3 times by Hull City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 No win, no Premiership football next season. Of course it wont be definite, but for me we may aswell, given the fact we have 4 very tough games after it. I just cant see all the sides around us not gaining points in the next 5 games, we have to be gaining with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 If (haha) we show up and play them like we did Man U we'll be sitting on a positive goal difference by the end of the 90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Guthrie in for Smith, otherwise same team. Owen on the bench, give him 30 minutes in a 4-3-3 with Löven and Oba if we need a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Is Xisco back for this one? Might score another against Hull off the bench. Gonzalez is back as well isn't he? Another International being added to the ranks has to be a good thing, although I haven't actually seen him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd keep Smith in...be unfair to drop him ....if he is to be dropped...then lets hope Guthrie is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 This team plays to the level of their opponents, it is what poorly managed (or un-managed), teams with no leadership or character do. They might have looked OK against Man Utd today, but that is not indication that they will not slip back into Bolton form against Hull. Lose and we're done.

oldtype Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 All things considered I think we may even see a return to Guthrie-Butt, which would suit me just fine. (Butt always has a decent game after he's had a two week break.) Owen to have a late cameo, would be nice if we would be comfortable enough to give Nacho some time in the second half. Every extra body in the central midfield is another step towards keeping Butt/Smith/Geremi out of the starting XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 The fact he was running towards the ball atall made him better than Butt Giving the opposition the ball twice makes him better than Butt Actually winning a tackle every now and again also Butt has been a walking(barely) disaster this season. Teams just pass the ball past him and he stands around watching the defence...atleast Smith gets back to cover also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Barring any training ground injuries (I know, I know...) we'll only have two first senior players out for Hull (Beye and Barton) and one of them (Barton) isn't even guaranteed a first team place. Things are looking up ever so slightly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm thinking about Alan Smith, the English midfielder with the ridiculous hair. The one who peaked as a player about a decade ago and is the only person who stops Shola Ameobi from claiming the honour of worst player in this god awful team.

Counter attacking is only useful against a side that will actually send a lot of men fowards themselves. Based on the Fulham game though we should get more than enough chances.
